Chapter 829: What a Scheming Man
Besides, if she had been in the room the entire time, wouldn’t she have heard him calling Rong Si Daddy?
At the thought of this, Han Siye had instantly felt depressed and wished he could die on the spot.
This was simply too great a humiliation!
No wonder Rong Si suddenly wanted him to fulfill the bet. He wanted Han Siye to embarrass himself in front of Little Jiu.?What a scheming man!
Han Siye gritted his teeth. He really wanted to strangle Rong Si to death now.
Since Han Siye had seen it, Su Jiu wasn’t going to deny it. She said, “Yes, that’s right. I went to look for him. He disappeared for the day. I was a little worried about him, so I went to check on him when he got back.”
“Really?” Han Siye’s lips twitched. He seemed to be smiling, but the smile was bitter. “Would you worry about me too if I disappeared for a day?”
Su Jiu’s eyes widened. “Han Siye, what are you talking about? Stop fooling around.”
“Just take it that I’m fooling around. Tell me, if I disappear for a day, will you worry about me too?” Han Siye asked, staring at her as if he wouldn’t stop until he got an answer.
Su Jiu took a deep breath and said seriously, “Of course, I would worry, but that worry is just a sister’s concern for her brother and the concern between friends.”
“Nothing else?” Han Siye clenched his fists and asked stubbornly.
Su Jiu closed her eyes and nodded. “Nothing else.”
What a decisive and straightforward answer!
Han Siye’s heart sank again. It felt as though a ball of cotton was stuck in his throat, suffocating him.
“Alright, I understand.” Han Siye smiled again, even more bitterly than before.
He lowered his head slightly, looking at a spot on the ground. The strands of hair on his forehead had come loose, and he looked a little disheveled.
Su Jiu couldn’t bear to see him like this. He was in such a daze that he didn’t look like his usual self at all. However, she had to make it clear to him how she felt about him. Although he was very nice, she did not feel that way toward him and neither could she force herself to.
Su Jiu sighed and advised him, “Han Siye, if there’s nothing else, you should go back and rest. It’s late.”
Han Siye did not speak, nor did he have any intention of leaving. He stood rooted to the ground.
After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head. His eyes seemed to be slightly red. It was unknown if it was because he was angry or because he was too upset, but he said angrily and firmly, “You might be treating me only as a brother now or as a friend. If you wish this to continue in the future, I will have to accept it. But for now, I won’t admit defeat!”
“Han Siye…”
“You don’t have to say anything!” Han Siye glared at her. “I’m free to like you. You can’t interfere or stop me!”
Su Jiu was speechless.
How very like Han Siye to say such things!
The corridor was very quiet, and the atmosphere between them became a little awkward. Han Siye avoided her gaze and turned his face away from her. He said in a muffled voice, “Forget it, go back and rest. But…”
He changed the subject, glaring at her at the same time. “This is the second time I’ve found you alone with that boy. Don’t do it again. If I catch you again, I’ll tell your father. Don’t try me!”
Su Jiu did not know what to say. Before she could answer, he suddenly took two steps forward and hugged her!
Su Jiu was shocked and immediately pushed him away.
As soon as she resisted, Han Siye let go of her. His ears were red as he said angrily, “What’s wrong? Can’t I even hug you?!”
